Michaela makes repeated reference to a St. Katharina (Catherine, Catérina). There are several saints of this name; she is referring to St. Catherine of Siena (1347-80). The 24th of a family of 25, she became a Dominican Tertiary (nun) at a young age. Aged 19, she claimed to have experienced a "mystical marriage" with Jesus, who, in a vision, gave her a wedding ring made out of his foreskin. He told her to renounce her cloistered existence and enter public life. She attained a reputation for piety, helping the sick and the poor, and she sent many letters to public figures, urging the return of the Pope to Rome from Avignon. She supported Urban VI after the 1378 Western Schism, and died aged 33 in 1380.
It is clear that Michaela is referring to this Catherine as she refers to (1) her dying aged 33, (2) her achieving peace.
